git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/sysctl/sysctl
Pull sysctl updates from Joel Granados:
- Remove sentinel elements from ctl_table structs in kernel/*
Removing sentinels in ctl_table arrays reduces the build time size
and runtime memory consumed by ~64 bytes per array. Removals for
net/, io_uring/, mm/, ipc/ and security/ are set to go into mainline
through their respective subsystems making the next release the most
likely place where the final series that removes the check for
proc_name == NULL will land.
This adds to removals already in arch/, drivers/ and fs/.
- Adjust ctl_table definitions and references to allow constification
- Remove unused ctl_table function arguments
- Move non-const elements from ctl_table to ctl_table_header
- Make ctl_table pointers const in ctl_table_root structure
Making the static ctl_table structs const will increase safety by
keeping the pointers to proc_handler functions in .rodata. Though no
ctl_tables where made const in this PR, the ground work for making
that possible has started with these changes sent by Thomas
Weißschuh.

Cleanup some deprecated uses of strncpy() and strcpy() [1].
There doesn't seem to be any bugs with the current code but the
readability of this code could benefit from a quick makeover while
removing some deprecated stuff as a benefit.
The most interesting replacement made in this patch involves
concatenating "ttyS" with a digit-led user-supplied string. Instead of
doing two distinct string copies with carefully managed offsets and
lengths, let's use the more robust and self-explanatory scnprintf().
scnprintf will 1) respect the bounds of @buf, 2) null-terminate @buf, 3)
do the concatenation. This allows us to drop the manual NUL-byte assignment.
Also, since isdigit() is used about a dozen lines after the open-coded
version we'll replace it for uniformity's sake.
All the strcpy() --> strscpy() replacements are trivial as the source
strings are literals and much smaller than the destination size. No
behavioral change here.
Use the new 2-argument version of strscpy() introduced in Commit
e6584c3964f2f ("string: Allow 2-argument strscpy()"). However, to make
this work fully (since the size must be known at compile time), also
update the extern-qualified declaration to have the proper size
information.

Add a generic function console_replay_all() for replaying
the kernel log on consoles, in any context. It would allow
viewing the logs on an unresponsive terminal via sysrq.
Reuse the existing code from console_flush_on_panic() for
resetting the sequence numbers, by introducing a new helper
function __console_rewind_all(). It is safe to be called
under console_lock().
Try to acquire lock on the console subsystem without waiting.
If successful, reset the sequence number to oldest available
record on all consoles and call console_unlock() which will
automatically flush the messages to the consoles.

If add_preferred_console() is not called early in setup_console(), we can
end up having register_console() call try_enable_default_console() before a
console device has called add_preferred_console().
Let's set console_set_on_cmdline flag in console_setup() to prevent this
from happening.

Currently console_setup() tries to make a console index out of any digits
passed in the kernel command line for console. In the DEVNAME:0.0 case,
the name can contain a device IO address, so bail out on console names
with a ':'.

Driver subsystems may need to translate the preferred console name to the
character device name used. We already do some of this in console_setup()
with a few hardcoded names, but that does not scale well.
The console options are parsed early in console_setup(), and the consoles
are added with __add_preferred_console(). At this point we don't know much
about the character device names and device drivers getting probed.
To allow driver subsystems to set up a preferred console, let's save the
kernel command line console options. To add a preferred console from a
driver subsystem with optional character device name translation, let's
add a new function add_preferred_console_match().
This allows the serial core layer to support console=DEVNAME:0.0 style
hardware based addressing in addition to the current console=ttyS0 style
naming. And we can start moving console_setup() character device parsing
to the driver subsystem specific code.
We use a separate array from the console_cmdline array as the character
device name and index may be unknown at the console_setup() time. And
eventually there's no need to call __add_preferred_console() until the
subsystem is ready to handle the console.
Adding the console name in addition to the character device name, and a
flag for an added console, could be added to the struct console_cmdline.
And the console_cmdline array handling could be modified accordingly. But
that complicates things compared saving the console options, and then
adding the consoles when the subsystems handling the consoles are ready.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm
Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
- Sumanth Korikkar has taught s390 to allocate hotplug-time page frames
from hotplugged memory rather than only from main memory. Series
"implement "memmap on memory" feature on s390".
- More folio conversions from Matthew Wilcox in the series
"Convert memcontrol charge moving to use folios"
"mm: convert mm counter to take a folio"
- Chengming Zhou has optimized zswap's rbtree locking, providing
significant reductions in system time and modest but measurable
reductions in overall runtimes. The series is "mm/zswap: optimize the
scalability of zswap rb-tree".
- Chengming Zhou has also provided the series "mm/zswap: optimize zswap
lru list" which provides measurable runtime benefits in some
swap-intensive situations.
- And Chengming Zhou further optimizes zswap in the series "mm/zswap:
optimize for dynamic zswap_pools". Measured improvements are modest.
- zswap cleanups and simplifications from Yosry Ahmed in the series
"mm: zswap: simplify zswap_swapoff()".
- In the series "Add DAX ABI for memmap_on_memory", Vishal Verma has
contributed several DAX cleanups as well as adding a sysfs tunable to
control the memmap_on_memory setting when the dax device is
hotplugged as system memory.
- Johannes Weiner has added the large series "mm: zswap: cleanups",
which does that.
- More DAMON work from SeongJae Park in the series
"mm/damon: make DAMON debugfs interface deprecation unignorable"
"selftests/damon: add more tests for core functionalities and corner cases"
"Docs/mm/damon: misc readability improvements"
"mm/damon: let DAMOS feeds and tame/auto-tune itself"
- In the series "mm/mempolicy: weighted interleave mempolicy and sysfs
extension" Rakie Kim has developed a new mempolicy interleaving
policy wherein we allocate memory across nodes in a weighted fashion
rather than uniformly. This is beneficial in heterogeneous memory
environments appearing with CXL.
- Christophe Leroy has contributed some cleanup and consolidation work
against the ARM pagetable dumping code in the series "mm: ptdump:
Refactor CONFIG_DEBUG_WX and check_wx_pages debugfs attribute".
- Luis Chamberlain has added some additional xarray selftesting in the
series "test_xarray: advanced API multi-index tests".
- Muhammad Usama Anjum has reworked the selftest code to make its
human-readable output conform to the TAP ("Test Anything Protocol")
format. Amongst other things, this opens up the use of third-party
tools to parse and process out selftesting results.
- Ryan Roberts has added fork()-time PTE batching of THP ptes in the
series "mm/memory: optimize fork() with PTE-mapped THP". Mainly
targeted at arm64, this significantly speeds up fork() when the
process has a large number of pte-mapped folios.
- David Hildenbrand also gets in on the THP pte batching game in his
series "mm/memory: optimize unmap/zap with PTE-mapped THP". It
implements batching during munmap() and other pte teardown
situations. The microbenchmark improvements are nice.
- And in the series "Transparent Contiguous PTEs for User Mappings"
Ryan Roberts further utilizes arm's pte's contiguous bit ("contpte
mappings"). Kernel build times on arm64 improved nicely. Ryan's
series "Address some contpte nits" provides some followup work.
- In the series "mm/hugetlb: Restore the reservation" Breno Leitao has
fixed an obscure hugetlb race which was causing unnecessary page
faults. He has also added a reproducer under the selftest code.
- In the series "selftests/mm: Output cleanups for the compaction
test", Mark Brown did what the title claims.
- Kinsey Ho has added the series "mm/mglru: code cleanup and
refactoring".
- Even more zswap material from Nhat Pham. The series "fix and extend
zswap kselftests" does as claimed.
- In the series "Introduce cpu_dcache_is_aliasing() to fix DAX
regression" Mathieu Desnoyers has cleaned up and fixed rather a mess
in our handling of DAX on archiecctures which have virtually aliasing
data caches. The arm architecture is the main beneficiary.
- Lokesh Gidra's series "per-vma locks in userfaultfd" provides
dramatic improvements in worst-case mmap_lock hold times during
certain userfaultfd operations.
- Some page_owner enhancements and maintenance work from Oscar Salvador
in his series
"page_owner: print stacks and their outstanding allocations"
"page_owner: Fixup and cleanup"
- Uladzislau Rezki has contributed some vmalloc scalability
improvements in his series "Mitigate a vmap lock contention". It
realizes a 12x improvement for a certain microbenchmark.
- Some kexec/crash cleanup work from Baoquan He in the series "Split
crash out from kexec and clean up related config items".
- Some zsmalloc maintenance work from Chengming Zhou in the series
"mm/zsmalloc: fix and optimize objects/page migration"
"mm/zsmalloc: some cleanup for get/set_zspage_mapping()"
- Zi Yan has taught the MM to perform compaction on folios larger than
order=0. This a step along the path to implementaton of the merging
of large anonymous folios. The series is named "Enable >0 order folio
memory compaction".
- Christoph Hellwig has done quite a lot of cleanup work in the
pagecache writeback code in his series "convert write_cache_pages()
to an iterator".
- Some modest hugetlb cleanups and speedups in Vishal Moola's series
"Handle hugetlb faults under the VMA lock".
- Zi Yan has changed the page splitting code so we can split huge pages
into sizes other than order-0 to better utilize large folios. The
series is named "Split a folio to any lower order folios".
- David Hildenbrand has contributed the series "mm: remove
total_mapcount()", a cleanup.
- Matthew Wilcox has sought to improve the performance of bulk memory
freeing in his series "Rearrange batched folio freeing".
- Gang Li's series "hugetlb: parallelize hugetlb page init on boot"
provides large improvements in bootup times on large machines which
are configured to use large numbers of hugetlb pages.
- Matthew Wilcox's series "PageFlags cleanups" does that.
- Qi Zheng's series "minor fixes and supplement for ptdesc" does that
also. S390 is affected.
- Cleanups to our pagemap utility functions from Peter Xu in his series
"mm/treewide: Replace pXd_large() with pXd_leaf()".
- Nico Pache has fixed a few things with our hugepage selftests in his

During the handoff from earlycon to the real console driver, we have
two separate drivers operating on the same device concurrently. In the
case of the 8250 driver these concurrent accesses cause problems due
to the driver's use of banked registers, controlled by LCR.DLAB. It is
possible for the setup(), config_port(), pm() and set_mctrl() callbacks
to set DLAB, which can cause the earlycon code that intends to access
TX to instead access DLL, leading to missed output and corruption on
the serial line due to unintended modifications to the baud rate.
In particular, for setup() we have:

For set_mctrl() we have (for some devices):

-> omap8250_set_mctrl()
-> __omap8250_set_mctrl()
To avoid such problems, let's make it so that the console is locked
during pre-registration calls to these callbacks, which will prevent
the earlycon driver from running concurrently.
Remove the partial solution to this problem in the 8250 driver
that locked the console only during autoconfig_irq(), as this would
result in a deadlock with the new approach. The console continues
to be locked during autoconfig_irq() because it can only be called
through uart_configure_port().
Although this patch introduces more locking than strictly necessary
(and in particular it also locks during the call to rs485_config()
which is not affected by this issue as far as I can tell), it follows
the principle that it is the responsibility of the generic console
code to manage the earlycon handoff by ensuring that earlycon and real
console driver code cannot run concurrently, and not the individual
drivers.

dump_stack() is called in panic(). If for some reason another CPU
is holding the printk_cpu_sync and is unable to release it, the
panic CPU will be unable to continue and print the stacktrace.
Since non-panic CPUs are not allowed to store new printk messages
anyway, there is no need to synchronize the stacktrace output in
a panic situation.
For the panic CPU, do not get the printk_cpu_sync because it is
not needed and avoids a potential deadlock scenario in panic().

Commit 13fb0f74d702 ("printk: Avoid livelock with heavy printk
during panic") introduced a mechanism to silence non-panic CPUs
if too many messages are being dropped. Aside from trying to
workaround the livelock bugs of legacy consoles, it was also
intended to avoid losing panic messages. However, if non-panic
CPUs are writing to the ringbuffer, then reacting to dropped
messages is too late.
Another motivation is that non-finalized messages already might
be skipped in panic(). In other words, random messages from
non-panic CPUs might already get lost. It is better to ignore
all to avoid confusion.
To avoid losing panic CPU messages, silence non-panic CPUs
immediately on panic.

The commit d51507098ff91 ("printk: disable optimistic spin
during panic") added checks to avoid becoming a console waiter
if a panic is in progress.
However, the transition to panic can occur while there is
already a waiter. The current owner should not pass the lock to
the waiter because it might get stopped or blocked anytime.
Also the panic context might pass the console lock owner to an
already stopped waiter by mistake. It might happen when
console_flush_on_panic() ignores the current lock owner, for
example:
CPU0 CPU1
---- ----
console_lock_spinning_enable()
console_trylock_spinning()
[CPU1 now console waiter]
NMI: panic()
panic_other_cpus_shutdown()
[stopped as console waiter]
console_flush_on_panic()
console_lock_spinning_enable()
[print 1 record]
console_lock_spinning_disable_and_check()
[handover to stopped CPU1]
This results in panic() not flushing the panic messages.
Fix these problems by disabling all spinning operations
completely during panic().
Another advantage is that it prevents possible deadlocks caused
by "console_owner_lock". The panic() context does not need to
take it any longer. The lockless checks are safe because the
functions become NOPs when they see the panic in progress. All
operations manipulating the state are still synchronized by the
lock even when non-panic CPUs would notice the panic
synchronously.
The current owner might stay spinning. But non-panic() CPUs
would get stopped anyway and the panic context will never start
spinning.

Normally a reader will stop once reaching a non-finalized
record. However, when a panic happens, writers from other CPUs
(or an interrupted context on the panic CPU) may have been
writing a record and were unable to finalize it. The panic CPU
will reserve/commit/finalize its panic records, but these will
be located after the non-finalized records. This results in
panic() not flushing the panic messages.
Extend _prb_read_valid() to skip over non-finalized records if
on the panic CPU.

Currently pr_flush() will only wait for records that were
available to readers at the time of the call (using
prb_next_seq()). But there may be more records (non-finalized)
that have following finalized records. pr_flush() should wait
for these to print as well. Particularly because any trailing
finalized records may be the messages that the calling context
wants to ensure are printed.
Add a new ringbuffer function prb_next_reserve_seq() to return
the sequence number following the most recently reserved record.
This guarantees that pr_flush() will wait until all current
printk() messages (completed or in progress) have been printed.

Commit f244b4dc53e5 ("printk: ringbuffer: Improve
prb_next_seq() performance") introduced an optimization for
prb_next_seq() by using best-effort to track recently finalized
records. However, the order of finalization does not
necessarily match the order of the records. The optimization
changed prb_next_seq() to return inconsistent results, possibly
yielding sequence numbers that are not available to readers
because they are preceded by non-finalized records or they are
not yet visible to the reader CPU.
Rather than simply best-effort tracking recently finalized
records, force the committing writer to read records and
increment the last "contiguous block" of finalized records. In
order to do this, the sequence number instead of ID must be
stored because ID's cannot be directly compared.
A new memory barrier pair is introduced to guarantee that a
reader can always read the records up until the sequence number
returned by prb_next_seq() (unless the records have since
been overwritten in the ringbuffer).
This restores the original functionality of prb_next_seq()
while also keeping the optimization.
For 32bit systems, only the lower 32 bits of the sequence
number are stored. When reading the value, it is expanded to
the full 64bit sequence number using the 32bit seq macros,
which fold in the value returned by prb_first_seq().

Note: This change only applies to 32bit architectures. On 64bit
architectures the macros are NOPs.
__ulseq_to_u64seq() computes the upper 32 bits of the passed
argument value (@ulseq). The upper bits are derived from a base
value (@rb_next_seq) in a way that assumes @ulseq represents a
64bit number that is less than or equal to @rb_next_seq.
Until now this mapping has been correct for all call sites. However,
in a follow-up commit, values of @ulseq will be passed in that are
higher than the base value. This requires a change to how the 32bit
value is mapped to a 64bit sequence number.
Rather than mapping @ulseq such that the base value is the end of a
32bit block, map @ulseq such that the base value is in the middle of
a 32bit block. This allows supporting 31 bits before and after the
base value, which is deemed acceptable for the console sequence
number during runtime.
Here is an example to illustrate the previous and new mappings.
For a base value (@rb_next_seq) of 2 2000 0000...
Before this change the range of possible return values was:
1 2000 0001 to 2 2000 0000
__ulseq_to_u64seq(1fff ffff) => 2 1fff ffff
__ulseq_to_u64seq(2000 0000) => 2 2000 0000
__ulseq_to_u64seq(2000 0001) => 1 2000 0001
__ulseq_to_u64seq(9fff ffff) => 1 9fff ffff
__ulseq_to_u64seq(a000 0000) => 1 a000 0000
__ulseq_to_u64seq(a000 0001) => 1 a000 0001
After this change the range of possible return values are:
1 a000 0001 to 2 a000 0000
__ulseq_to_u64seq(1fff ffff) => 2 1fff ffff
__ulseq_to_u64seq(2000 0000) => 2 2000 0000

The macros __seq_to_nbcon_seq() and __nbcon_seq_to_seq() are
used to provide support for atomic handling of sequence numbers
on 32bit systems. Until now this was only used by nbcon.c,
which is why they were located in nbcon.c and include nbcon in

In a follow-up commit this functionality is also needed by
printk_ringbuffer. Rather than duplicating the functionality,
relocate the macros to printk_ringbuffer.h.
Also, since the macros will be no longer nbcon-specific, rename
them to __u64seq_to_ulseq() and __ulseq_to_u64seq().

CAP_SYSLOG was separated from CAP_SYS_ADMIN and introduced in Linux
2.6.37 (2010-11). For a long time, certain syslog actions required
CAP_SYS_ADMIN or CAP_SYSLOG. Maybe it’s time to officially remove
CAP_SYS_ADMIN for more fine-grained control.
CAP_SYS_ADMIN was once removed but added back for backwards
compatibility reasons. In commit 38ef4c2e437d ("syslog: check cap_syslog
when dmesg_restrict") (2010-12), CAP_SYS_ADMIN was no longer needed. And
in commit ee24aebffb75 ("cap_syslog: accept CAP_SYS_ADMIN for now")
(2011-02), it was accepted again. Since then, CAP_SYS_ADMIN has been
preserved.
Now that almost 13 years have passed, the legacy application may have
had enough time to be updated.

pr_flush() does not guarantee that all messages would really get flushed
to the console. The best it could do is to wait with a given timeout.[*]
The current interval 100ms for checking the progress might seem too
long in some situations. For example, such delays are not appreciated
during suspend and resume especially when the consoles have been flushed
"long" time before the check.
On the other hand, the sleeping wait might be useful in other situations.
Especially, it would allow flushing the messages using printk kthreads
on the same CPU[*].
Use msleep(1) as a compromise.
Also measure the time using jiffies. msleep() does not guarantee
precise wakeup after the given delay. It might be much longer,
especially for times < 20s. See Documentation/timers/timers-howto.rst
for more details.
Note that msecs_to_jiffies() already translates a negative value into
an infinite timeout.
[*] console_unlock() does not guarantee flushing the consoles since
the commit dbdda842fe96f893 ("printk: Add console owner and waiter
logic to load balance console writes").
It would be possible to guarantee it another way. For example,
the spinning might be enabled only when the console_lock has been
taken via console_trylock().
But the load balancing is helpful. And more importantly, the flush
with a timeout has been added as a preparation step for introducing
printk kthreads.

Commit 9e70a5e109a4 ("printk: Add per-console suspended state")
removed console lock usage during resume and replaced it with
the clearly defined console_list_lock and srcu mechanisms.
However, the console lock usage had an important side-effect
of flushing the consoles. After its removal, consoles were no
longer flushed before checking their progress.
Add the console_lock/console_unlock dance to the beginning
of __pr_flush() to actually flush the consoles before checking
their progress. Also add comments to clarify this additional
usage of the console lock.
Note that console_unlock() does not guarantee flushing all messages

This is not really dangerous because printk_get_next_message()
always returns false for !CONFIG_PRINTK, which leads to @outbuf
never being used. However, it makes no sense to even compile
these functions for !CONFIG_PRINTK.
Extend the existing '#ifdef CONFIG_PRINTK' block to contain
the formatting and emitting functions since these have no
purpose in !CONFIG_PRINTK. This also allows removing several
more !CONFIG_PRINTK dummies as well as moving
@suppress_panic_printk into a CONFIG_PRINTK block.

For the write_atomic callback, the console driver may have unsafe
regions that need to be appropriately marked. Provide functions
that accept the nbcon_write_context struct to allow for the driver
to enter and exit unsafe regions.
Also provide a function for drivers to check if they are still the
owner of the console.

Implement an emit function for nbcon consoles to output printk
messages. It utilizes the lockless printk_get_next_message() and
console_prepend_dropped() functions to retrieve/build the output
message. The emit function includes the required safety points to
check for handover/takeover and calls a new write_atomic callback
of the console driver to output the message. It also includes
proper handling for updating the nbcon console sequence number.
A new nbcon_write_context struct is introduced. This is provided
to the write_atomic callback and includes only the information
necessary for performing atomic writes.

Add an atomic_long_t field @nbcon_seq to the console struct to
store the sequence number for nbcon consoles. For nbcon consoles
this will be used instead of the non-atomic @seq field. The new
field allows for safe atomic sequence number updates without
requiring any locking.
On 64bit systems the new field stores the full sequence number.
On 32bit systems the new field stores the lower 32 bits of the
sequence number, which are expanded to 64bit as needed by
folding the values based on the sequence numbers available in
the ringbuffer.
For 32bit systems, having a 32bit representation in the console
is sufficient. If a console ever gets more than 2^31 records
behind the ringbuffer then this is the least of the problems.

Provide functions that are related to the safe handover mechanism
and allow console drivers to dynamically specify unsafe regions:
- nbcon_context_can_proceed()
Invoked by a console owner to check whether a handover request
is pending or whether the console has been taken over by another
context. If a handover request is pending, this function will
also perform the handover, thus cancelling its own ownership.
- nbcon_context_enter_unsafe()/nbcon_context_exit_unsafe()
Invoked by a console owner to denote that the driver is about
to enter or leave a critical region where a take over is unsafe.
The exit variant is the point where the current owner releases
the lock for a higher priority context which asked for the
friendly handover.
The unsafe state is stored in the console state and allows a
new context to make informed decisions whether to attempt a
takeover of such a console. The unsafe state is also available
to the driver so that it can make informed decisions about the
required actions and possibly take a special emergency path.

In case of hostile takeovers it must be ensured that the previous
owner cannot scribble over the output buffer of the emergency/panic
context. This is achieved by:
- Adding a global output buffer instance for the panic context.
This is the only situation where hostile takeovers can occur and
there is always at most 1 panic context.
- Allocating an output buffer per non-boot console upon console
registration. This buffer is used by the console owner when not
in panic context. (For boot consoles, the existing shared global
legacy output buffer is used instead. Boot console printing will
be synchronized with legacy console printing.)
- Choosing the appropriate buffer is handled in the acquire/release
functions.

The nbcon boot consoles also need printk buffers that are available
very early. Since the nbcon boot consoles will also be serialized
by the console_lock, they can use the same static printk buffers
that the legacy consoles are using.
Make the legacy static printk buffers available outside of printk.c
so they can be used by nbcon.c.
